A sane, economically solid country does not elect Donald Trump to the Presidency.
And it's particularly important to remind people of the rot underneath which allowed Trump to win - cultural and economic - because a whole lot of apologists for that rot will be quick to pin blame exclusively on Trump after he's gone. You can hear it now... "Oh, everything was peachy, and there were no problems, and then along came Trump..." He's the perfect foil for the people who'd tell you, "What's the matter with the status quo? It's all great. Things can keep going like they are indefinitely!"
Uh, no. No, they cannot. And as proof that things are irredeemably fucked up, I offer this: We Elected Donald Trump President. Do I need a closing? Can I just drop the mic now?

Yes, please drop the mic. No need to pick it back up. You win. JK!!!! Don't run away again! But yes, let's keep talking about what systemic, deep-rooted, heretofore-ignored injustices against white people that caused Trump to be elected. Because it is SO TOTES UNFAIR that people keep blaming you and others who blithely voted for third party candidates while assuring us that it made no difference. How many points was Hill gonna win PA by? Never mind, let's try to find out how we can make the disaffected white people happy so this doesn't happen again. Like the Trump supporters who are trolling Ariana Grande (led by the Cernovich, whom you described as "independent media"), because she once said "I hate America" in reaction to seeing a giant tray of doughnuts, so the bombing TOTALLY IS HER FAULT!!!!!! Yes, I want to spend lots of time wringing my hands about what I have done wrong in my life that has turned these people into moronic half-wit hateful trolls. Maybe I wasn't sufficiently coal-friendly? Maybe I drove my hybrid with a look of judgmental superiority. Once I gave a disapproving look at someone who called the Washington Post retarded AND THIS CHILLED THEIR SPEECH AND MADE THEM FEEL ALL SAD AND CONDESCENDED TO. You can call someone a retard without being prejudiced against retarded people, right??? Yes, this is good. I think I'm making progress. I am beginning to understand just how much Trump is MY FAULT and the fault of others like me. I'm beginning to see the light. There are problems in these times, but oooh, none of them are mine. I can't believe people are still talking about Russia. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ. That was so two weeks ago. The hysterical media has its head up its ass, navel-gazing from the inside about THE CRAZY FUCKING SHIT TRUMP IS DOING RIGHT NOW, instead of focusing on why white people got sad and made Trump in the first place. Preach the truth, Sebastian. Don't let's bullies like Thurgreed silence you. You see the game. It's a chess match between Bezos and Trump, but instead of Rooks and Knights, they have napalm and Twitter. And we're the pawns! Takes a cat like Sebastian to see what's what. You don't need a weatherman to see which way the wind blows. Because you can't see the fucking wind!!! Think. About. It. Sounds cynical, but scratch a cynic and you find a disappointed idealist. This cat Carlin said that. You should check his shit out.
Meters for the Daily Dose. "Pungee." Slow, funky groove with a backbeat that pushes it forward.
